Solar Image Scaling Templates

Post by Solbrillante »

Hi everyone,
I would appreciate it if some of you could assist me with adding Solar Scaling to my images.
Currently I am using a comparison Earth for scale which I made up in Photoshop but I would like to add in more information on my images namely kilometre scales, orientation of the solar axis of rotation and incremental degrees around the Solar limb. I am already familiar with “Tilting Sun”.
I have seen some examples on the net but I don’t want to go cutting and pasting and infringe on copy write. Could you please advise where I may find some useful and legal templates that I can use in my Solar processing?

Doesn't mean I know what I'm doing, though!

I'm not quite sure what you are after but this thread in the library is useful viewtopic.php?t=31988

There is also the solar ruler that you can cut and paste in photoshop and scale explaination https://thesolarexplorer.net/index.php/ ... olar-ruler

Thanks Alexandra. This is a good start. Can I presume that I can play around with some of these diagrams to tailor what I need?

Thanks Alexandra, though the link from the solarexplorer was refused by my virus software... Not to worry, enough to get started.
